The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) gives guidance
on many issue related to safety and health issues in the workplace. In certain cases,
OSHA mandates that employees and/or employers have OSHA certified training for specific
workers in certain Industries. OSHA certified training must be given by the main
OSHA training institute or via OSHA Institute Education Centers which are designated
by OSHA. Individuals can become certified trainers for certain OSHA courses via
the OSHA Outreach Training Program. Upon successful completion of this program,
the trainer can teach specific courses.

Courses within this section deal with Construction only. There is a
separate section for General Industry courses.

Training may also be advisable for other employees to educate themselves
on the various issues for health and safety reasons along with avoidance of citations.

Please consult your employer or OSHA to determine whether either one
mandates training.

The courses within this catalog are based on OSHA Federal Standards.
Certain states have their own state OSH Programs which may or may not differ from
Federal OSHA guidelines. To see if your state has their own state plan and to find
contact information for the state OSH Program, go to http://www.osha.gov/fso/osp/index.html.

The Department of Transportation (DOT) gives guidance on issues affect
health and safety in relation to transportation. The DOT does not certify training
or give training, unlike OSHA, but only mandates that training must be obtained
and documented in certain topics for certain employees and/or employers in certain
Industries.
